Pilk Purriyn 2023: A conversation with Corrina Eccles and Jenna Ahmat

Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation, in collaboration with the Surf Coast Shire Council, will hold an inaugural truth-telling event: Pilk Purriyn, which means ‘sunrise’ from 5:30am - 7am Thursday 26th of January 2023.

It is an opportunity for members of all communities to come together for deep listening and reflection as the sun rises.

 The event will acknowledge the trauma and harm to First Nations People through colonisation and recognise the resilience of their people and culture which continues today.

 The day will begin with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony followed by truth-telling.

It was wonderful to sit with Corrina and Jenna and briefly hear about why they are holding this event and what it can mean for our community moving forward together.

Corrina brought in but we didn't get time to discuss a Djillong Timeline, please access it HERE.

This season I'm sharing interviews with inspirational people about conversations that need to be had and heard.  These chats are part of the morning program Loretta's Front Page broadcast on 94.7Pulse FM community radio in Geelong
